Twitter shares were up more than 5% in the premarket on Monday, following reports from Reuters and Bloomberg that a deal could be reached very shortly. 

Prior to the US stock market opening, share trading in Twitter’s stock sent the price up 5.1% to $51.57. However, this figure is still below Musk’s offer price. 

Per share, Musk offered $54.20 — $43 billion in total for the social media giant, which he has previously accused of failing to uphold free speech.  

While Twitter recently adopted a “poison pill” strategy in a bid to resist a hostile takeover, some investors want to see the social media giant take Musk’s offer into serious consideration.
